which quickly became an underground club hit, leading to a collaboration project with childhood friend Gabriel RenÃ. The pair (along with sultry singer/songwriter Gina Renà and turntablist Mei-Lwun Yee) formed the highly acclaimed outfit Soulstice. Caldwell and René produced and wrote music for the band's stellar 2001 debut Illusion and subsequent remix collection Mixed Illusions (both released on San Francisco's leading electronic imprint OM Records). During this time, Caldwell also created a steady stream of his own celebrated releases for OM Records including three stand-alone, single releases, as well as releases featured on Mark Farina's widely popular Mushroom Jazz series. His singles were also included on six consecutive Om Lounge compilations and two full-length mix CDs entitled Sounds of Om v. 2. Caldwell's now seminal Om Records' release, "I Can't Wait" has appeared on numerous compilations and has become a house music standard. Other top singles for Caldwell include his popular Naked Music releases "All I Need", "Lectropic" and "Give A Little" as well as remixes for Migs, Owusu and Greene and Arvid. He's also recorded and released "Pushin" and "Don't Hold Back" for Inspirit Music's InSoul Sessions v. 1 and InHouse Perspectives 02, albums that he also mixed. He has also collaborated with DJ/producer Behrouz on their single "Be Free" and several remixes for the Yoshitoshi label, including the Grammy nominated track "Safe From Harm" by Narcotic Thrust." Caldwell's honors helped build a following, and his music was subsequently used in three U.S. television programs, "Six Feet Under," "Boston Public" and "Chromium Blue," signifying his mainstream arrival.



Over the past several years, Caldwell has focused on touring as a DJ, affording him an opportunity to share his love of music with fans around the world, playing records in every major city on every continent. In 2004, he and longtime colleague Bob Haynes (of Inspirit Music) launched their own Uno Recordings imprint, a joint label dedicated to "edgy, experimental music laced with soulful songwriting, strong vocal performances and musicality." With this imprint, Caldwell has already brought joy to millions of house fans to whom he had first introduced the genre.
